Been reminiscing about the people and circumstances of the Web that fascinated me because I am fundamentally not at all fascinated with the Web as it is now: Commodity, Utility and NO FUCKING STANDARDS! How does that happen in a browser monoculturer? I have a theory!

Humans are in a state of social decline and a lot of rage and real hate out there. I think a lot of issues lie in the belief in many people right now that there are only two ways of thinking about policy where each side is claiming correct. Bipartisan, binary, Cartesian Duality.

Duality is a horrible model for designing scalable infrasture for humanity. It is a split of extremes. The term "Black and White Thinking" appears in "mental health" fields as a red light for disorder. We have thousands of years and 8 billion people proving otherwise. Evidence.

Duality has consitently resulted in social and physical warfare. My way. Not Your way. Often backed up by one thing "My god told me so." How does that help us shift/change humankind into a learning, advancing, more acceptance and at best enjoyment and enrichment from many ideas?

Onanism and duality really screw with systems, and this is what concerns me about the insistance that it's singular or binary ONLY. That is radically exclusive. Evidence is in the math and how that manifests in the social world.

When the Web first emerged, the ideals and goals were noble, elegant and hopeful. All that still exists. Recs and specs exist, as do many places where instead of stinging, a window opens.
WaSP > Sting. A Window Opened > Shift > Change.
Lived it, know it. We still have it.

I am absolutely convinced that we have enough evidence that we will not evolve if we persist in resisting change and falling into onanism or duality only. It's eating one potato every day when you have an abundance of other nutritious foods. And that ends how? Illness and death.
